Unplaced Taxa of Neodiprion Rohwer
Two of the following species were described from males. Because the taxonomy of Neodiprion
is based primarily on females, they cannot be placed.

Genus GILPINIA Benson
Gilpinia Benson, 1939. Bui. Ent. Res. 30: 341.
Type-species: Lophyrus polytomus Hartig. Orig. desig.
A Palaearctic genus of about 24 species, two of which have been introduced into North Amer-
ica. In Asia, representatives of this genus are found as far south as Pakistan, northern India, and
Thailand. In many references, the species below have been assigned to the genus Diprion.

introduced, first found in Mass. and R. I. in 1932. Host: Pbnis sylvestris, P. reshiosa are
favored, but also found on Pinus banksiana, P. strobus, P. mugho, P. nigra, and P.
cembra in North America, and other pines in Eurasia.
